Next years race will take place on Sunday the 3rd March. Further information, and online entry, can be found on the Entry Central The East District Cross Country championships took place today at Balgownie Playing fields in Aberdeen. It was a cold and windy day but As always with Aberdeen the numbers competing drop off and our numbers were further depleted with six call offs due to injury or illness. In the first race of the day, the U13 gi*ls, we had two athletes competing, Amy McLaughlin and Skye Foster who both ran well to finish In the U13 boys we also had two athletes running, Alasdair Brown and Cameron Chambers who both  ran strongly to finish 28th and 37th We had no U15 gi*ls competing today but the U15 boys race produced the highlight of the day for Las*wade where Harry Henriksen showed his clas* and a clean pair of heels to the rest of the field to win. Sarah Tait continued her good form this season to finish in 6th place in the U20 women’s race. In the U20 men’s race Sarah’s brother Magnus also ran very well to match his sister also finishing 6th. In senior women’s race we had two athletes Keira Gore who had a strong run to finish just outside the top 10 in 12th place and team The final race of the day was the Senior Men’s race and we had four athletes with Martin Gore having a solid run to lead the team home in 45th place, next home was Andrew McGlone in 102nd, Stephen Brown in 153rd with Derrick Brydon coming home in 169th to complete the team. Thanks to everyone who made the trip to Aberdeen and congratulations to everyone on their performances. First off, a huge thanks to all the volunteers who turned out for yesterdays Cross Country. It goes without saying that without those etc, who travelled through to the meeting. It is great to have so many clubs, schools and individuals represented on the day. Thankfully the weather was kind for us, and we had a great days racing, with fantastic performances right across the age groups.
